It’s sometimes good to treat this blog as, well…a blog and write about my personal life as opposed to didactically crafting entries that come off as preachy when done in excess. So here goes nothing. Take what you will from it. Some of you might know that I’ve been looking for another job. I’m sort [...]

Let me start off by clarifying a little bit here. This is primarily an article targeting those Postgrads who have not already given their heart to a sole man or woman of their desire. I realize that for some of us, there is already a “singular” person that we’ve given our hearts to, and as [...]

As I am taking up a blue-collar filler job over the next couple of days that leaves me too physically exhausted to think, let alone string together cohesive sentences, coupled with the fact that I am experiencing the tail end of some sort of sickness I caught over Thanksgiving break, I’ll just post a quick [...]

Monday’s are the worst day of the week. There’s something about having to start the week after a free and fun weekend (for the most of us) that absolutely sucks.
